Yeah...Zuko says that they understand one another. And he was friends with another Sasuke in Adstringeum.

[Something about dark pasts and terrible life choices]

I don't get it myself fully. [He shrugs; Sasuke's a dick he'll never get talking to him] But it's important to him.

[ino]

Oh ...

[ Well, that explains it from Zuko's side of things. But even he didn't seem quite so attached as Sasuke. He was really beating down that door ... ]

Well, I guess it's good someone's keeping him occupied.

[save_the_souls]

I suppose so...I mean, it's not like Naruto's here to obsess about him.

[Because that's so what Naruto did]

[ino]

I think it might be better that he's not, honestly ... at least for the time being.

[ A lot has happened for Sasuke prior to getting here, he definitely needs some time alone to process. In her opinion.

Also Naruto would probably be a little jealous of Zuko. ]

[save_the_souls]

Really?

[That's a surprise]

...Do you think he'd get between what they have growing between them?

[Because seriously man, those three are hella gay. Allen's sleeping with a guy regularly and he's less gay than them]

[ino]

... Well, maybe ... but I think it's probably good for Sasuke to have some time to himself away from that to process, too. I've had plenty of time, but he's still not far out from everything that happened during the war.

[save_the_souls]

[Ino you fully processing and dealing with your baggage that's hilarious...]

Ah...that's true. I guess even he'd have troubles with that.

[Allen can get that. It's been years since he's been home, and there are still nights he wakes up from nightmares revolving those battles]

[ino]

[ SHE'S HAD A LOT OF TIME TO SHOVE IT DOWN INTO A DARK CORNER. ]

Mm-hmm. Last I remember everyone had already been fighting for days with no rest -- and he's from even later than that.

[ And it looks like she's done fixing him up, so she withdraws her hand ]

Whatever they're up to, hopefully it's helping a little.

[save_the_souls]

[He'll relax when she finishes. So much better]

Yeah, I hope so. [They got enough problems as it is] After you talked to him, Sasuke called me and agreed to replace the blender- so I want to take that as a good sign.

[ino]

... Eh?

[ She looks shocked. ]

He did???

[save_the_souls]

Mm!

[And since he knows it sounds unbelievable, he'll pull out his communicator and find the conversation. He then offers her the communicator to read. Because fuck you Sasuke I can gossip with my bestie all I want]

See?

[ino]

[ That may have been a mistake, because the more she reads the more she looks mad. ]


-- Ugh!

[save_the_souls]

[....?]

[You know what, he didn't say anything wrong so fuck it. Just not gonna say anything]

[ino]

[ She isn't mad at you, Allen, but she thrusts the communicator back at him ]

I can't believe him ...!

[save_the_souls]

[He'll take the communicator back]

Yeah, I didn't say he wasn't an arse about it...

[Though maybe if she's getting mad, it was a bigger level of arse-y for him than usual? It's hard for him to tell for Allen- everything the guy says sounds dickish to him]

[ino]

I was mad because I was trying to explain that he can't just break everyone's things around here without consequences, since I walked in on him doing the same thing to the one on his own ship and thought he might be thinking about doing it again to someone else, and I even offered my own knives to borrow instead, and he turned it into me "forgetting" what we'd learned and a bunch of other crap!

[ That all came out in one breath. Wow. Also she is sort of regretting apologizing to him about that, now that she knows he was talking shit to Allen. ]

[save_the_souls]

[Wow that was very fast. He takes a second to respond]

..."Forgetting" what you learned? That's rich coming from a guy like him.

[You know, a traitorous DOUCHEBAG]

It's Sasuke. He'll just justify and say whatever he wants to make himself sound superior to everyone else. He's full of shit.

[ino]

[ She lets out a huff, and leans her head back against the wall behind them. ]

I guess.

[ She doesn't think he was wrong about some of it, but boy does she wish he would listen to her about how to behave in a place like this. He might be able to get away with whatever he wanted at home, but ...

She turns to look at Allen again. ]

Still, even there, it was Zuko that made him crack ...

[save_the_souls]

Yeah, it was...

[Sure was a gamble that paid off in Allen's book, to be honest, but he'll look curiously at her]

Are you jealous it wasn't you?

1/2

[ino]

Wh --

[ She sits up ]

I'm not -- I'm not jealous! It's just frustrating that something so difficult ...

[ino]

[ She sits back again, folding her arms across her chest. ]

It's like, he didn't even have to try, you know?

1/2

[save_the_souls]

[He pauses as he looks at her]

[save_the_souls]

Ah...

[He'll then smile at her]

You've helped a lot of people, Ino. I know you've gotten a lot of people to open up that I never would've been able to do so.

But helping people isn't as simple as just "trying really hard". Everyone's different and has different things they need.

...Maybe Sasuke just needed someone who could understand his past without being part of his past.

[ino]

I know that it's not that simple.

[ It comes out a bit harsh, though, so she takes a breath before continuing, a little softer. ]

And maybe you're right. But it's still frustrating.

[save_the_souls]

[He'll reach over to give a one armed hug]

I know it is.

[Since hey, you guys have been trying to reach out to him since BEFORE Allen met you crazies. So yeah, he could see where it'd be frustrating as hell to have a new guy just waltz in and do it much easier]
